Background. Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a heterogeneous group of mesenchymal malignancies that occur throughout the life-span. The impact of age on disease features and outcome is unclear. Methods. We analyzed the clinical features and outcome of all STS cases registered between 1973 and 2006 in the SEER database. Results. There were 48,012 cases that met the selection criteria. Individuals less than 20 years of age represented 5.6%, with rhabdomyosarcoma being the most common subtype. In adults, the most common types were Kaposi sarcoma, fibrohistiocytic tumors, and leiomyosarcoma. Rhabdomyosarcoma was the only entity with a median age
